Quilting in the country, again, finally!

Sorry I have been away so long!  I went to the city last Friday, and if I ever did have a minute to look at the computer, the computer wouldn't work!  Very frustrating.

Had a busy weekend.  Took the baby to a First Communion for a nephew's daughter.  He was good, but it wore me out carrying him around.  He has asleep when I got to the school/church, so I left him in his car seat, which he is too big for, and almost impossible to carry, especially with his stuff and mine.  By the time I bumped him around getting to the door, he was awake anyway!  He did fall asleep again on our way to the nephew's house, and slept while we ate, which was nice. 

On Sunday, my daughter needed to sleep, so I took everyone, including the neighbor girl who had spent the night, to Mass, then to Krispy Kreem for doughnuts.  Then we took the long way home through a state park that has a population of elk.  It was weird to see them out in the woods so close to the city.  The girls were more excited about the geese and a couple of ducks they saw on the lake.  It was really nice.  It felt like we were a million miles away from the city. 

I wanted the girls to go outside when we got home, but they wanted to play Wii.  Of course they woke up their mom, then went outside.  They played for awhile, then I took the three of them, plus three neighbors, plus the baby shopping for flip-flops.  Two of the neighbors are older, and were actually a big help.  The girls all got sunglasses and sandals, and we got little shoes for the baby.  Stopped and picked up supper on the way home.  All that running around did me in!

I had planned to come home yesterday morning as soon as the girls left for school, but it was almost 5:00 before I got on the road.  Only made a couple of stops, but it was still 8:30 by the time I got home.  Too late to start on anything, so I just watched the basketball game. 

Wanted to catch up on the computer yesterday morning, but it was raining and thundering, and I was afraid of lightening. The least little bit of lightening will take out my modem in a heartbeat.  So I worked on a table runner instead, and got it finished last night.  I really like the way it turned out.  I have tried three times to get the picture to load, but it just won't do it, so I finally gave up.  I'll have to post it later. 

I bought some chenille at Wal-Mart on Monday, and tried to use it in a baby lovie last night, but it didn't turn out the way I had hoped.  I tried another idea this morning, but I'm not sure about it either.  This may require some more thought. 

I'm going to try to go out and do some yard work before the next big rain storm tomorrow.  I'll try to post some pictures when I come back in.
